Chapter 1100: Chapter 690: It’s Time to End

Manifesting a Dao Domain is actually not complicated; the essence of those secret techniques follows a single rule.

Using Qi as flesh, soul as bone, forming one’s own charm into the soul, allowing the three to blend and coexist—once this is achieved, the cultivator is equipped to break through Mortal Transcendence.

This is how Xu Yuan was.

Upon awakening, he already possessed the conditions to break through Mortal Transcendence, yet the breakthrough still hinged on a critical step—inducing resonance with the Dao Charm of the heavens and earth.

The Dao Charm fused into the cultivator’s own being alone is insufficient to sustain the immense energy consumption of a Dao Domain, necessitating borrowing the power of the heavens and earth’s Dao Charm.

For ordinary cultivators, as long as the Qi, soul, and charm are fused, eliciting the Dao Charm of the heavens comes almost naturally.

But Xu Yuan could not.

Because the Dao Charm of death is unique—more unique than life’s Dao Charm.

Unlike those Dao Charms perpetually present in the material world, the Dao Charm of death only manifests in the living world when creatures perish.

To unfold his Life and Death Domain, Xu Yuan’s path must tread upon the corpses of thousands of living beings.

The greater the number of dead creatures, the stronger the abilities of his Dao Domain.

Theoretically speaking, the scattered Death Dao Charm from the creatures slain in the war within Zhenxi Prefecture City should have been sufficient for him to assemble the most complete Life and Death Domain. Yet, regrettably, these Dao Charms had already been preemptively seized by Mu Nuo, the little ghoul.

Each creature’s death had merged into Mu Nuo’s Life Spirit Dead Zone, directly resulting in no trace of Life and Death Domain available for Xu Yuan’s use between heaven and earth.

Xu Yuan had never intended to resist a Saint head-on as a Primordial being—this was utterly unrealistic, even if the opponent was a Saint without ’Will’ or Dao Charm.

Hence, only two choices lay before him.

The first was relying on the Life Spirit Dead Zone to manifest his Dao Domain.

Continuing the parasitic fight he had employed earlier.

As long as the Life Spirit Dead Zone remained intact, Xu Yuan’s Life and Death Domain would persist.

This would lead to a war of attrition.

A cautious plan, but Xu Yuan abandoned it.

This option, while prudent, served his personal safety. He could hardly prevent Mu Nuo from slaughtering other people.

Furthermore, it harbored an extremely slim, yet catastrophic, possibility—

If Mu Nuo were to glean insight into Xu Yuan’s Life and Death Dao Charm during this process, the battlefield would collapse in an instant.

Thus,

Xu Yuan opted for a riskier second plan.

He devised a trap for Mu Nuo, forcing it to dissolve the Life Spirit Dead Zone and return the vast deathly aura condensed from the deaths of the insect tide and humans.

And now, he had succeeded.

The full manifestation of the Life and Death Domain unfurled before Mu Nuo’s eyes.

The grand river roared mightily towards the edge of the desolate wilderness, like the twilight that separates the sunset from the world, slicing the black and white of existence into stark reverence.

Bathed in the vast current of life and death, Mu Nuo gazed at the man, with only his lower half intact, suspended high above the sky dome. A pair of clear, dark pupils rippled with strands of shock.

Under Mu Nuo’s gaze,

The upper half began to converge, accompanied by a mighty voice rolling in from all directions:

"I told you, upon your death, the foundation of my Dao Domain shall be laid."

As the words fell,

Mu Nuo caught sight of the current expression in Xu Yuan’s eyes.

They were eyes that instinctively evoked fear among the living—his left eye glimmered with radiant white brilliance, while his right eye was pitch-black and menacing.

After a brief silence,

Surveying its own body, Mu Nuo slowly rose from the river, sighing as it spoke:

"This Dao Charm of yours is truly vexing. It can even temporarily transmute you into a dead body, bypassing a fatal blunder. It seems I’ll need to study a few techniques as preparation for future encounters once this concludes."

Xu Yuan leveled his gaze at the delicate-looking youth levitating in the air:

"I don’t believe you’ll have that chance."

The immense Sacred Origin coalesced around Mu Nuo, its tone gradually frosty:

"Xu Changtian, my opportunities aren’t for you to assign."

Xu Yuan’s lips curled into a faint smile:

"Then go ahead and try..."

Before his voice fully receded, the sight of the little ghoul twisting away rapidly caught him off guard.

It transformed into an escaping light in an instant, leaving countless afterimages in the air with its speed.

"....." Xu Yuan.

Wearing a furrowed brow, Mu Nuo dashed away furiously.

In the battle of Zhenxi Prefecture City, Mu Nuo had witnessed the Dao Domains of other Saints, none of which truly concerned it. Yet the Dao Domain Xu Changtian had unfolded triggered an instinctual sense of danger.

Though it didn’t believe it would lose within this Dao Domain, it saw no necessity in stubbornly clashing for honor within such perilous environs.

For now, it lacked mastery over a Dao Charm; its strategy was to retreat and avoid disadvantage, striking later from strength.

Each Dao Domain’s maximum radius seldom exceeded a hundred yards; escaping first to neutralize Xu Changtian’s advantage, then counterattacking...

While contemplating, Mu Nuo flashed across an unknowable distance, theoretically escaping Zhenxi Prefecture City. Yet when it regained focus, it found itself still afloat above the same river.

Faced with this scene, Mu Nuo solidified its speculation, halting its escaping light abruptly and turning back to say:

"A nauseating teleportation spellcraft."

Xu Yuan, standing high in the void, responded nonchalantly:

"Stopped running? My Origin Qi is limited, while your Sacred Origin is nearly infinite. You could try further, exhaust my Qi, and secure your survival."

Hovering amidst the pristine skies, Mu Nuo paused momentarily, lowered its gaze to scrutinize its own body, and felt the ebbing vitality within:

"My life force is continuously being drained by this Dao Domain of yours. Running further is not a wise option."

Xu Yuan silently paused for a moment, lifted his hand slightly, and began gathering a cluster of white radiance in his palm:

"I expected you’d take some time to realize, but this loss of vitality shouldn’t mean much to you."

Life’s Dao Charm—extracting vitality.

The afflicted, simply by existing within the domain, would see their life essence perpetually siphoned away by Xu Yuan.

It was preventable, yet Mu Nuo, an inexperienced Ghost Saint, evidently lacked techniques and preparedness against such applications.

Without replying, Mu Nuo suddenly raised its index finger and aimed at Xu Yuan.

The next instant,

A pure beam of energy shot forth from its fingertip!

Xu Yuan made no move to dodge, allowing the beam to pierce through his frame, blood gushing out from the wound.

Yet moments after, the white radiance surging from Xu Yuan’s palm caused the wound in his abdomen to rapidly heal.

Though still unfamiliar with the intricacies of the Life and Death Domain, Xu Yuan needed time to explore its potential.

The attack had roughly enabled him to probe the healing limits of Life’s Domain—a recovery speed akin to that of a ghoul, surpassing even them.

Understanding this, Xu Yuan subtly hesitated as he examined Mu Nuo.

His Domain freshly solidified, Mu Nuo—a Saint possessing nothing but raw cultivation—made an ideal testing ground to measure its functions and boundaries.

Pondering further, Xu Yuan abruptly abandoned the notion.

He couldn’t afford to drag this out; the situation demanded a swift victory.

With Emperor Bai’s stance still uncertain and another Saint potentially en route from the sects, time was not on his side.

As his thoughts settled,

Xu Yuan suddenly sensed an eerie fluctuation emanating from the direction of Zhenxi Prefecture City.

Instinctively turning his gaze,

Through the border of the Life and Death Domain, he spotted a stranger appearing above the city.

It was a woman clad in a sky-blue Immortal Dress, graceful and refined, with brows like flowing water and skin fairer than jade.

As if sensing Xu Yuan’s gaze,

She looked back across the distance, lips curving into a soft smile.

That gentle, watery expression struck Xu Yuan with a trace of familiarity, yet he had no time to ponder where he might have encountered her, for his vision locked onto the heart grasped in her hand.

Thump, thump...

The sound of a heartbeat reverberated across the entire world.

Suddenly,

"Ahwooooo!!!!!!"

A wolf’s howl tore through the sky dome,

Within the billowing smoke over Zhenxi Government Office,

A towering Qilin Wolf, now over a hundred yards tall, roared with bloodshot eyes, losing control. Indifferent to the damage to its flesh, the surge of infinite Sacred Origin obliterated the entire Zhenxi Government Office in moments.

It was Tatar Chao’s heart.

The Qilin Wolf had run amok.

In an instant, Xu Yuan understood what this woman intended to accomplish.

Within the government office,

No entity remained capable of subduing the Qilin Wolf.

Amid the frenzied howls of the beast,

Lady Wen curved her crescent eyes at Xu Yuan, lips parting gently as her calm, soft voice flowed like silk:

"Xu Changtian, the farce ends now."
